Tempo all-star guard Mabrey out for rest of season with right adductor injury

Sep 16, 2026 | 10:29 AM

TORONTO — The Toronto Tempo announced Wednesday that all-star guard Marina Mabrey will miss the rest of the 2026 WNBA season with a right adductor injury.

The Tempo say Mabrey is expected to make a full recovery and will not need surgery.

The announcement was not unexpected. Mabrey has been sidelined since scoring 22 points in an Aug. 18 game against the Indiana Fever. The expansion Tempo have long since been eliminated from playoff contention and have just four games remaining.

Mabrey averaged a career-high 20.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.9 steals through 32 games this season and was named a league all-star for the first time.

She scored a career-high 53 points against Los Angeles on June 25, tying the WNBA single-game scoring record.

Mabrey was selected sixth overall by the Tempo during the 2026 WNBA expansion draft and signed a two-year, US$2.4 million deal before the season.

Toronto closes out its home schedule in its inaugural WNBA regular season against the Indiana Fever on Friday and the New York Liberty on Sunday.
